Chapter 532: Chapter 531: Love-Struck at Home 13

Matchmaker Li completely didn’t expect this outcome. She walked out of Jiang Family’s door, looking back every few steps, still trying to persuade.

But the young girl from the Jiang Family who escorted her out showed no sign of being moved on her face, which made her a bit annoyed.

Thinking of herself as a well-known silver tongue in town, Matchmaker Li had exhausted all the good words today, yet this young girl from the Jiang Family showed not a hint of hesitation. Even a simple meeting for a look, she wouldn’t agree to it.

"Jiang Xiaomei," Matchmaker Li grabbed Ah Chen’s hand, "you’re really worrying Aunt. I don’t know what’s in your heart, but the Yu Family’s conditions are the best I’ve seen in all my years as a matchmaker. Missing this, there’s nothing else. You’re eighteen or nineteen now, if you wait a few more years, age won’t be an advantage anymore."

"Thank you, Aunt Li, for your concern. I understand in my heart. It’s getting late; you should go back quickly. It would be hard to see the road if it’s too late, and it wouldn’t be good if you fell." Ah Chen smiled with her eyes, without saying anything offensive, leaving Matchmaker Li with no recourse.

Matchmaker Li felt like she encountered a tough opponent. Her efforts today must have been in vain, and she felt a bit stifled inside.

If Jiang Xiaomei had shown any sign of displeasure or impatience, she might have felt a bit better, seeing a potential breakthrough.

But the other party did not, showing neither anger nor care, and even warmly thanking her, showing concern about her not falling while walking, which was the hardest to deal with!

Matchmaker Li indeed was exhausted and could only leave.

The Jiang Family had finished eating, and Jiang Maochuan and Liu Yujia didn’t say much. They suspected in their hearts that Xiaomei’s refusal might be because of the college entrance exams? The more they thought about it, the more likely it seemed. If that was the case, there was indeed no need to rush into a relationship, as university was more important.

Though they thought this way, they didn’t reveal the slightest hint.

Xiaomei told them because she wanted them to prepare quietly, not for them to publicize it.

Even though they were more at ease now, if any news harmed Xiaomei, it would be their fault. So, no one dared to speak out, and they wouldn’t discuss these matters with Xiaomei again. She needed to study, and that could be done in her room with the door closed. As teachers, preparing lessons was just a normal thing.

"With such good conditions at the Yu Family, why would Xiaomei disagree? Such conditions are hard to find." Su Man couldn’t hold back and pretended not to understand, proposing this, but she was really anxious inside.

She had spent so much time getting in touch with Yu Sanjie, waiting for Jiang Chen to marry into the Yu Family, but Jiang Chen disagreed.

How could this be?

Su Man’s words didn’t seem strange to the Jiang Family. It was the truth.

But Chen Xiuying was very displeased with Su Man. Although originally, she didn’t plan to pressure her daughter, upon hearing that Su Man wanted to manage her daughter’s affairs, she was extremely upset.

She couldn’t hold back!

Even though Jiang Laoer was willing, as a mother, she still wasn’t pleased.

This statement was almost made, anyway, Jiang Chen is easier to find than you, Su Man.

Su Man coldly laughed in her heart, turning her face pale just in time, yet stubbornly holding on, causing Jiang Maohua to worry, looking at Chen Xiuying with more resentment.

"Are you alright? Where does it hurt? Do you want to let Doctor Zhang from the village take a look?" Jiang Maohua was full of anxiety.

Su Man looked up at Chen Xiuying, seemingly about to unleash a storm, feeling satisfied at heart.

Yet she didn’t show it on her face, holding her stomach and gently shaking her head, "It’s nothing, no need to bother, let’s eat."

Jiang Maohua didn’t know how much his heart ached seeing her holding on like this.

"Mom, Su Man isn’t in good health, stop saying those things. It’ll upset her." Jiang Maohua blurted out without thinking, while Su Man held him back forcefully, but couldn’t stop him.

"Brother Mao Hua, what are you saying? It’s not mom’s fault, how can you speak to mom like that?" Su Man teared up, "Saying this to mom makes me look bad, I already feel guilty for you, it was only my own problem earlier, nothing to do with mom. If you speak like this again, I won’t let you take care of me."

Jiang Maohua was flustered, hastily comforting her.

The rest of the Jiang Family found it inexplicable. Even if Su Man’s mistake couldn’t be pinpointed, she seemed to be defending Chen Xiuying, but this scene was really an eyesore, not just to Chen Xiuying, but to others as well.

"Every time Second Sister-in-law comes here, she feels particularly unwell. Maybe her birth chart is in conflict?" Ah Chen suddenly spoke, drawing everyone’s attention.

They thought carefully and realized that every time Su Man came over, she didn’t seem well. Of course, it could also be that she was naturally unwell.

The Jiang Family wasn’t full of schemes, and since Su Man apparently hadn’t done anything wrong publicly and seemed like a weak person, they never considered she was faking it on purpose.

"I’ve heard that some people’s birth charts can’t harmonize with certain places, or they’ll feel unwell. It’s even possible to fall seriously ill." Ah Chen said earnestly. She didn’t stop Su Man’s actions, as the ties between Jiang Family and Jiang Maohua were deep, not something that could be severed with a single cut.

Su Man wanted to use Jiang Maohua to manipulate the Jiang Family without realizing that it would only erode the Jiang Family’s feelings towards Jiang Maohua.

Once eroded enough, the Jiang Family would get used to it and wouldn’t be hurt by Jiang Maohua’s behavior anymore.

After all, when it came to Jiang Maohua, you couldn’t say he was bad. He wasn’t bad. Without Su Man, he was still a good son to Chen Xiuying and her husband. That’s what made it frustrating; it made everyone uncomfortable.

Su Man wanted the Jiang Family to feel that discomfort.

But she wouldn’t just sit and do nothing.

"I’ve calculated, each time Second Sister-in-law comes, she experiences various discomforts. It might truly be due to conflicts with her birth chart."

"However, since the country is cracking down on superstitions now, I’m not sure if that’s the reason. It’s not something to talk about publicly. Don’t even think about consulting a Feng Shui master. For the sake of Second Sister-in-law and the child’s health, it’d be better to visit less. If something happens, there’s no use regretting it later." Ah Chen showed concern between her eyebrows, "Just in case, right, Second Brother?"

Jiang Maohua truly took this in, yes, every time Su Man came to eat, she would become unwell. He believed it was due to her conflicting birth chart.

Su Man clenched her fist, conflict with the birth chart?

She looked up at Jiang Chen, but the other party appeared serious, seemingly genuinely believing it might be the case, almost causing her to cough up blood.

Jiang Chen, who had once passed university entrance exams and traveled the world, was now speaking of birth chart issues in front of her?

Though, Jiang Chen genuinely believing this was a possibility.

Su Man frowned because she remembered that later many big bosses believed in this sort of thing.

But her discomfort here was entirely feigned to unsettle the Jiang Family, not because of any birth chart conflict!

"Dad, Mom, how about we cancel the Saturday dinners until Manman has the baby?" Jiang Maohua suggested somewhat weakly, knowing his parents would likely be displeased hearing this, but Su Man’s health was important now.

Little did he know, Jiang Aiguo nodded immediately, "Sure, health is important. Laoer, take good care of your wife. Better to believe it than not. Once we’ve prepared good food on Saturdays, I’ll have Jiang Chen bring it over."

Recently, Xiuying has not been in a good mood, which has affected him too, so it’s better to cancel the big family meals on Saturdays.

He also wanted to have a more peaceful life.
